Beef brisket stewed with tomatoes is a classic Chinese dish. The preparation is not complicated, but it is very labor-intensive. If you want to eat authentic beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, you have to wait for a long time.
Beef brisket refers to the soft muscle of the beef belly and near the ribs. This kind of meat has more lean meat, less fat, and not much tendon. It is the most suitable part for making beef brisket.
To make this dish, you first need to make tomato sauce. Peel off the skin of the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. It will look like a bright red sauce boiled in China. Then, it will look like beef cut into pieces, like star anise. Boil for one and a half hours. Do not add salt at this time. If the dish is salty, it will not be easy to cook. You have to wait until the last time it is taken out of the pot before adding salt to the pot.
The whole dish took nearly two hours. Finally, it was poured into a soup bowl and garnished with some chopped green onions and coriander. This stewed beef brisket with tomatoes was completed.
Compared with the long-term cooking of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, Fang Tao's raw beef sauce is simpler and much more bloody - he took out a piece of steak meat, the meat was completely raw, even a little bloody, Fang Tao's hands Holding the knife, he kept chopping the meat. A complete piece of beef soon turned into red minced meat. Finally, Fang Tao put the minced meat into a plate, then took out some powdered spices from the bag, and slowly Add to the raw beef sauce and stir carefully.
It is a Tibetan medicine. The taste itself is very unique and not pleasant, but if it is combined with the fresh fishy smell of raw beef sauce, it can create a wonderful taste.
The whole dish does not require any cooking. It is almost a combination of raw beef and this Tibetan medicine. The bright red color is very beautiful at first glance, but if you think that this color is actually the color of flesh and blood, I guess no one will There will be an appetite to taste this stuff.
The judges of this competition are three American gourmets. When they saw the two dishes, they subconsciously showed an expression of wanting to feast on Tian Xiaodu's dish. As for Fang Tao's dish... But they... There is a sick feeling.
"Please try these two dishes." Fang Tao said to the three judges in English, with a bit of evil on his face.
The three gourmets took action one after another, and there was no doubt that the first thing they tasted was Tian Xiaodu’s beef brisket stewed with tomatoes. Everyone showed an expression of enjoyment, and finally looked at Fang Tao's raw beef sauce with some embarrassment. One of them, a fat gourmet, finally decided to be the first person to eat crabs, and scooped up a portion with a spoon with a patient look on his face. Spoon raw beef sauce. He put it into his mouth almost tremblingly.
His expression was very nervous, and he even looked like he wanted to vomit, but... his expression soon became strange.
It was an expression that seemed to show that reality was different from imagination.
He glanced at the plate of raw beef sauce strangely, then took another spoonful and put it into his mouth. This time there was even a look of tasting on his face.
The other two gourmets became curious when they saw his expression. After looking at each other, they also tasted the dish. Then their faces showed a pretty good expression. Unexpectedly, this dish was so good. Dishes that make people feel horrible and disgusting actually taste surprisingly smooth.
The changes in the expressions of the three judges made Fang Tao look proud, and he turned to look at Tian Xiaodu.
Tian Xiaodu's expression was still very calm, which showed that he was extremely confident in his dishes. He didn't say anything. He just lowered his head slightly without any unnecessary reaction.
Fang Tao gritted his teeth quietly and thought to himself: "Just wait, I'll see if you can show this look again after I win this game!"
On one side of the field, there was also some commotion on Ye Chui's side.
Lin Wei looked at the expressions of the three judges with some worry: "Ye Chui, is Uncle Tian's dish good or not? I think the reactions of these three judges seem a bit strange!"
"What is the origin of that dish made by Fang Tao? Even if the three judges didn't find it disgusting, they actually ate it with such relish that I almost wanted to vomit." Dong Youyou also said strangely. Looking at Ye Chui curiously.
Ye Chui frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Soon, his eyes lit up: "I remember... This dish Fang Tao made is not some dark cuisine. It has a great background!"
"What's the background?" Everyone looked at Ye Chui strangely.
"Lhasa Raw Beef Sauce, this name should have struck me a long time ago..." Ye Chui continued, "It is a unique food served in Lhasa to entertain guests. It has been passed down for thousands of years. Raw beef is in that kind of way. Seasoned with unique Tibetan medicine, the taste is very refreshing... I don’t know where Fang Tao got this recipe!”
"Then Ye Chui, is it possible that Uncle Tian will lose this game?" Lin Wei immediately became worried.
"No..." Ye Chui shook his head, "Although the raw beef sauce is delicious, it is a regional delicacy after all. The taste is far inferior to the tomato stewed beef brisket made by Tian Xiaodu. After all, the tomato stewed beef brisket is a classic that has been passed down for countless years. Good food... Look, the results will come soon.”
After understanding what this raw beef sauce was, Ye Chui became calmer. He had tasted the most authentic delicacy in his previous life, so he knew what this delicacy was like. In his opinion, it was impossible to reconcile with it. When comparing beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, the main reason why the expressions of the three gourmets changed was that the raw beef sauce tasted beyond their expectations, but compared with Tian Xiaodu's dish, it was absolutely incomparable. The three gourmets began to discuss in low voices.
Fang Tao waited for the result with a proud look on his face, while Tian Xiaodu continued to look calm.
"After our discussion, we came to the same conclusion. We think both dishes are delicious, but one of them is better." The fat gourmet said in English.
Fang Tao straightened his collar and looked proud. The winner chosen by the three gourmets must be him. There was no mistake...
"Chef Tian's beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, we all think this dish is even more delicious!" the fat gourmet then said.
Fang Tao: "..."
Tian Xiaodu nodded, with no surprise or joy on his face.
"This... how is this possible..." Fang Tao had an expression of disbelief.
Tian Xiaodu glanced at Fang Tao helplessly and said after a while: "Fang Tao, for the sake of master and apprentice, stop being stubborn. You will not have a future with these crooked ways."
"Humph, because of you and I, my chef license has been revoked, so what future do we have?" Fang Tao gave Tian Xiaodu a vicious look and left the field angrily. At this time, he stood still and looked at Ye Chui . He made a vicious declaration: "I will never fail like this. One day I will defeat you and Tian Xiaodu, I swear!"
Ye Chui shrugged, casually. He won't take it seriously anyway.
"Humph!" Fang Tao snorted and left.
"Fang Tao." Xing Sen, who was standing with Ye Chui and others, suddenly said at this time, "Although the Super God of Cookery Competition does not ban dark cuisine, dark cuisine is not welcome in China. I hope that I will not be allowed to cook in China in the future. Hua Xia will see you again. Otherwise..."
Fang Tao's body trembled slightly, turned around and left.
This was the last time Ye Chui and others saw Fang Tao. He has been active in Thailand, Myanmar and other areas since then. According to the information sent back by Xing Sen, in a dark chef competition three years later, he used King Cobra as an ingredient and chopped After getting off the snake's head, I thought the snake was dead, but I didn't expect to be bitten by the snake's head and die...
This is something for the future.
At this moment Tian Xiaodu won this game. I thought about the competition over at Han Yuyan again, so I walked all the way to Han Yuyan's examination room. When I arrived, the next competition had already started here. Han Yuyan and others didn't know where they were going. Ye Chui called Han Yuyan and learned that she was at the hotel, and her voice seemed... trembling
Something might have happened, Ye Chui and everyone hurried back to the hotel.
In the room, Ye Chui saw Sister Han sitting on the sofa, with an inexplicable smile on her face. Tang Shanshan and Wang Shiyu sat next to her, their expressions were indescribably strange.
Is this evil
"Da Yu, what's wrong with you?" Ye Chui asked curiously.
"Master..." Han Yuyan looked at Ye Chui with a dull expression. "I just won again."
Everyone: “…”
When Tian Xiaodu and Fang Tao were competing in cooking, Han Yuyan also had a duel with a French celebrity chef, Luc Besson. No matter Ye Chui, Han Yuyan or anyone else, they thought this duel was without any In order to avoid making a fool of himself, Han Yuyan even asked Ye Chui and others to support Tian Xiaodu, and only let Wang Shiyu and Tang Shanshan stay with him...
Can bear fruit. She actually won.
The dish Luc Besson is going to cook is pan-fried foie gras, which is a famous French dish. Han Yuyan just prepared a fried egg dish in a very careless way.
This was a showdown that had no meaning in terms of cooking skills or dishes, but the result was so unexpected.
"Boss, Sister Yuyan's fried eggs are really fried to the next level..." Tang Shanshan described the scene at that time, "At first, when they knew that Sister Han's dish was just a plate of fried eggs, several judges were shocked. They showed a disdainful expression, but after tasting sister Yuyan's fried eggs, their attitudes changed greatly. In the end, they won the game with three votes. That Luc Besson was still not convinced, He also tasted Sister Yuyan’s fried eggs, and he was convinced. Even after the game, he insisted on pestering us to drink coffee, saying that his new movie still lacked a heroine, and Sister Yuyan was a well-deserved first choice. One choice.”
Listening to this description, everyone was speechless again.
Luc Besson is a famous French chef and a great director. Not only did Han Yuyan beat him in cooking, but he also asked this great director to star in a movie
This... is so surprising!
"Brother, it's not just that." Wang Shiyu continued with a proud face at this time, holding the competition arrangement form in his hand, "The next fourth competition will be to choose from the seven chefs in each examination room. Four came, so one of them got a bye and was directly promoted. Now the contestants in Sister Yuyan’s No. 2 examination room have finished the competition. At the end of the game, she drew lots with the others. Sister Yuyan was lucky enough to get a bye. She There is no need to play the fourth game and we can directly participate in the finals of the group stage.”
Everyone: “…”
This kind of luck is simply incredible, isn’t it?
Could it be that Han Yuyan in the No. 2 examination room was trying to break through and win the right to participate in the finals? (~^~)
